CAMPAIGN ACTIONS

Written on 11 September 2008.

This was raised by one of our member organizations in Argentina, in order to address the recently passed EU Return Directive that imposes excessive detention periods and 5-year re-entry bans for undocumented migrants throughout the European Union. Many of our member organizations are mobilizing around this recent Directive.

The Directive puts trafficked persons at risk of being deported without proper investigation into their situations, and lengthy re-entry bans will increase the vulnerability of women seeking to migrate again as they have to seek illegal routes.

We are currently planning a regional and global strategy which will be launched in August.
